I think I'm really over-thinking my crayon blanket. Right now I'm deciding which way up I want to put the text on the crayons. I have a couple of options.
- alternate the orientations, so they're all the same way up when assembled
- orient the text so that it would be the right way up for someone right-handed
- orient the text so that it would be the right way up for someone left-handed
- Put writing on both sides, one oriented for right-handed people, the other for left-handed people, and then assemble the blanket so that the orientations on each side alternate, so they're all the right way up on both sides.
Which way will confuse a growing child less? Is orienting the text for a right-handed child discriminatory? Would gray text look good, or out of place?
Of course, the most pertinent question is probably Is the baby really going to care?
But *I* care.
*sigh*
I'm going to finish my spare crayon first, and then see how much yarn the text takes. Maybe I can do the two-sided text option.
Of course, I still need to decide how to attach the crayons. I've got a half-dozen ideas for that too... :P

I vote 1 or 4... eep. 4 is a lot of work! :)
I'm not sure I get the left-handed vs. right-handed orientation, but I think all the text should be able to be read when looking at it from one directly. (it should all be upside down or right-side up). I'm not sure the handedness thing really matters, does it?
Thanks everyone! I'll do 1, unless I have enough yarn for 4. (4 is just twice as much lettering... not that much extra work.)
